Geocache Description:


Welcome to the small mountain community of Camp Nelson. Initially on a trading route for Native Americans between the San Joaquin Valley and Eastern Sierra, it later became a place for logging, hunting, and cattle grazing. Towards the end of the 1800s, John Nelson built a resort and lumber mill. After completion of the road from Springville it became a popular place with people from the Valley trying to escape the summer heat. 
There are roughly 100 full time residents and 300 cabins. People affectionately call Camp Nelson, "The Last Great Place ". The cache is located near the meadow, site of community celebrations and movies.There is no cell service so download the coordinates before you go.The original site for this cache fell down and it was moved.

Bring a pen and a long stick (there's plenty around the site).
